I Know You Are, But What Am I?
Take this handy-dandy quiz to figure out what to call yourself, politically speaking (I mean, besides "disgusted with just about everybody in politics"). I came up firmly libertarian ("libertarian, small 'l'", that is -- a term which I borrowed from Cathy Seipp, whom, I think, got it from Eugene Volokh -- very useful for differentiating oneself from the wild-eyed, muttering conspiracy theorists who appear to make up much of the Libertarian party).

though I have no quibble with how I'm labeled,
I think the questions are not specific enough. for instance, the one on government control of the press etc. does no control mean everything is a free for all, and control mean censorship? or is control equal to keeping the media barons from owning too much?

no wonder we can't get polls to agree with such artfully (artlessly?) phrased questions.

Hi David! Good questions! I assumed that "control" did indeed mean "keeping the media barons from owning too much" -- which is why I voted for CONTROL, baby!

PS: I'm also a closet Nader fan who'd like to see some of his ideas about radio as a community forum get realized.
